In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with[a] humility toward one another, because

God resists the proud
but gives grace to the humble.[b](A)

Conclusion

Humble(B) yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand(C) of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you.(D) Be sober-minded,(E) be alert.(F) Your adversary the devil(G) is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him,(H) firm in the faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world.

10 The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory(I) in Christ,[c] will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little while.[d] 11 To him be dominion[e] forever.[f] Amen.
